How NOT
to commission a purpose built database (an actual case study):
Management is now in less than a tender trap. Does it continue in the hope that the supplier will get it right? Or start again with a new outfit? How much of the monies expended can be recovered? What happens to the department's activities operating without reliable data for so long? A manager prays for a heart attack, a cast iron means of escape. |
We might imagine the conditions above are rare. Not so. Billions of dollars spent by governments and corporates lie in waste tips around the world having produced not $1 in ROI or a measurable productivity benefit in database implementation.
Follow the rules - avoid the heart attack
| Is a custom database essential to the department or business? | An IT project is no different to
building a bridge or a shopping mall, it must produce measurable benefits:
|
||||||||||||||
| Implement bottom up | Involve all users in the project from day 1. Don't force users to accept a management 'surprise'. | ||||||||||||||
| Produce a detailed brief | Take the opportunity to interview
each user:
|
||||||||||||||
| A Database means Discipline |
Don't transfer poor manual systems into the database, they won't work there either. Determine what constraints and rules must be deployed to secure data accuracy and maintain a logical interface for users |

Planning a move to an ERP corporate database or a
smaller more productive program for a department?
Give us 1 hour of your time to review our presentation on CHANGE and make the implementation a money-saving success. |
